School Wreath Tutorial

Yesterday I showed you the crayon nametag I made for back-to-school night for Isaac’s teacher. Well I didn’t want the nametag to sit in a desk drawer all year. So I made a school wreath to display the nametag. When a teacher wants to wear it she can just take it off the wreath. While she isn’t wearing it she has a wreath to display in her classroom.

1. Start by wrapping a 14” STYROFOAM™ Brand wreath in yarn securing with a floral pin on the back. This takes a long time. I suggest watching a show or a movie while you do this. Wrapping a wreath is not for the impatient.

2. Add some decorative yarn on top of that. Secure it with a floral pin on the back.

3. Cut out some notebook paper flowers using a die cut machine or a flower template online. I used two sized flowers stacked on top of each other. Secure those with a thumbtack into the STYROFOAM™ Brand wreath.

4. Secure your nametag pin in place by pinning it onto the wreath.

5. Next string some baker’s twine left to right (wrapping around stick pins) to create a pennant banner. Take a piece of washi tape and fold it over the baker’s twine onto itself. Cut with scissors into your desire pennant shape.

6. Add a length of scrap fabric on the back by securing it with a floral pin.

Do you want to see all the wreaths I have made for the STYROFOAM™ Brand campaign this year?

Beckie, I think you officially are going to have it made in the school! Giving out such cute gifts to the teachers, they are all going to kill to get your children in their classrooms! You’ll be able to get anything you could possibly want or need for your kiddos! Better still, you have made a hard working teacher feel so appreciated. Way to be awesome!

Oh my word this has to be the cutest wreath ever! I may try this….although I’m not sure I have the patience to even wrap a 1/4 of the wreath with yarn but I’ll try! I have tons of orange yarn so maybe a little pumpkinny wreath would be cute

Do you remember the school wreath you made me to thank me for letting you student teach in my room ? It had wooden kids and crayons on it. It had a dangling apple with my name on it. I still have parts of it after all of these years. One day I will glue it all back together again. It was adorable. You could add it too your collection and share it.
